I know I am probably wasting my time here, as retention deals are always voted cold (which seems mad, as it is better to know that you can push for a deal, than not), but here goes...
My Sky contract entered it's final month, so I rang up to cancel. They offered me 20% off, which I declined, as I had 50% off already (all channels apart from movies, but the 1 multi-room box was at full price costing me £46.75 p/m following the recent price rise). I then received a call a couple of days later. They have offered me 50% off TV, 35% off the multi-room subscription, and a £100 credit. This works out to be £33.01 p/m, if I see the 12 months out. The interesting thing is that the offer is for 12 months, but I am not tied into a contract, so can cancel at any point. I could have also added the movies which would have cost £37.26 p/m, but I don't think I could justify those channels as never watch films. Overall this works out at a 55% discount.
I know this is likely to go cold, as people get annoyed that they do not have similar savings, but I hope it does help someone.
Let the boo boys commence...

And you value your time so little that you click offers on this site that you have no interest in just to **** off people that are interested ?
If the deal is not for you then please don't click on the link.
At least the OP made an effort to share a deal which is more than you have managed to do since you became a member 5 months ago

Glad that someone thinks so. I think my sums may be a few pennies out, but the saving is 55% pretty much. It will be even higher if I go through this process again a month before the end of the football season, with them not having the Champions League next season, and no football over the summer.

Not sure I'm getting the major social intelligence factor on a Sky deal from Rupert Murdoch. I'm not sure major social intelligence is defined as buying a product from a slimy media dictator, not my vision of the new order anyway.

I contrast I think these sorts of posts should be highly discouraged! They are too customer specific!

Aye I ended up at £32 something a month with top tv pack, 1 multiroom and movies. But I did have to sign up for 12 months.
Wish I'd cancelled every year instead if being lazy :smiley:

I phoned to cancel my TV the other day as out of contract, was offered nothing to stay ended up arguing with the advisor (about additional charges) and cancelled my phone/broadband within the hour.
Good saving for those who watch it a lot I didn't

Same here been with them for years, told them i was cancelling TV as couldn't justify that amount of money just to watch a couple of programs i couldn`t get elsewhere. Advisor was snotty and wrongly threatened addition charges also which i put him right about which made him even snottier. Getting my own back though with NowTv box inc 4 month entertainment (12.99 inc p+p) and side loaded Plex (RarFlix) onto it can now watch just about anything now for nowt Happy Days (-:

I expect a minimum of 50% off at Sky. This about sneaks in when you factor in the credit.

I agree. you already have the setup and equipment so all theyre doing is supplying the channels. So its better for them to make 50% of lots of people than 0.
